Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ extraordinary designated hitter, added another milestone to his already illustrious career on Tuesday night at the MLB All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas.
In a thrilling third inning, Ohtani blasted a three-run home run off Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck, breaking a scoreless tie and sending the crowd into a frenzy.
This shot wasn’t just any home run; it was the first by a Dodgers player in the All-Star Game since Mike Piazza’s memorable bomb back in 1996.
The stage was set with Jurickson Profar and Ketel Marte on base, both contributing with solid hits to put pressure on Houck. As Ohtani stepped up to the plate, the anticipation was palpable. After taking two balls to start his at-bat, he found his pitch—a splitter clocking in at 88.7 mph.
With a swing that seemed to echo through the ballpark, Ohtani launched the ball 400 feet to right-center, measured at an impressive 103.7 mph off the bat. The roar of the crowd was deafening, celebrating not only a game-changing moment but a historic one as well.
